Respond to a request from a part-time worker for a written statement of reasons for less favourable treatment
Key points
Part-time workers have the right not to be treated less favourably than comparable full-time workers on the ground of their part-time status, unless the less favourable treatment is justified.
A part-time worker who considers that the employer has treated them less favourably can request a written statement of reasons for the less favourable treatment.
The employer must respond within a specified time limit.
